BioWare Teases Heroes and Battles In Dragon Age: Inquisition

Today at Electronic Arts' E3 press conference, BioWare showed glimpses of an impressive dragon battle and the heroes that make up Dragon Age's titular Inquisition. BioWare started the presentation by showing a short montage of players fighting a massive Fereldan Frostback dragon. Players can target body parts in real-time, and the chaotic action looked gorgeous. However, players can still switch to the series' traditional tactical camera to pause the action and strategize as much as they want.

BioWare teased some of the party members in Dragon Age: Inquisition, including the hulking warrior, Iron Bull, and Sera, the elven archer; a Grey Warden named Blackwall and a powerful Orlesian mage named Vivienne were also briefly showcased. I didn't play Dragon Age II, but the gigantic dragon and myriad magic attacks have me eager to see more of the game in action.

Expect additional details and impressions of Dragon Age: Inquisition when we check in with BioWare from the showfloor later in the week.

my main concern with this game is missing out on a bunch of references because of not beating the first games -.- i know DA2 is dog crap so i'm not playing that, and i've tried beating DA1, i've gotten ~20 hours in, multiple times on different files, and always end up getting bored. i hope the game accommodates new players to the series.

Welp, I finally watched the gameplay video with the dragon and I gotta say.... it looked kind of meh. The dragon AI didn't look all that smart and it barely hit any of the players during the entirety of the video. Every time it tried to breathe fire the players were WAAAY out of it's range. The gameplay from the players/companions also looked a tad cartoon-y for my liking.
